Not an easy read but a worth while one. This finale took everything SWBTS started and finished it with such a freaking bang. The whole thing, for being a nearly 500 page book, read like nothing. Has awful as all the main POV characters are I couldn't walk away from it. Literally- I finished this in less than 36 hours with an insane 2 year old. Not only does this make me want to go back and start the whole duology over again, I'm now interested in how the audiobook plays out.
Read this duology. Mind the triggers. It's a terrible time- you'll love it.
